I use the stock app for videos, OpenCamera for stills, Freedcam for landscapes using RAW mode , and Google Camera - if I want panorama or photo-sphere.
'A Better Camera' - will save to SD card. It is pretty nice - but I uninstalled it after I realized that the free version had a limitation of number of HDRs pictures it allows.

Using stock, OpenCamera, A BetterCamera. I like OpenCamera except it doesn't yet support writing to external SD.
My main complaint with the stock camera is that it seems to only support two resolution settings (and I am guessing they are the really the same resolution, just one is cropped to make 16:9 aspect ratio). Am I missing something? Is there a way to take lower-resolution photos (e.g. for web posting or faster email upload) using the stock camera app?
I use Camera FV-5.

Does it allow saving to the external sd on lollipop? As far as I know only the stock camera allows that.
Camera FV-5 I found does not work for some reason on the Idol. I start the camera and get a black screen. I do get the settings but nothing else but a black screen. I going to contact app developer soon about it.
The best camera so far (for any device) it's procapture because: it can silent all the sounds (except those in whats app), it can put the grip on and it can capture just by touch. Besides theese, there are many-many other settings as wb, iso, hdr, light mode etc

Your phone has to support Google's Camera2 API in order for the app to even function. Right now only a few devices even support the official Google Camera2 API. The ones I know of are: Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung Galaxy S6, LG G4. Since the camera hardware is the same as my Nexus 6, I'd expect this app to just work, but Alcatel's software side probably isn't even written with Camera2 API in mind.
I have been following this website which upload all of Gcam versions. Recently a developer from the Russian forum 4pda (scrubber) uploaded APK which fixes all the problems of portrait mode and HDR+ for the selfie and back camera.
The Gcam doesn't require any configuration it's already set to the Nexus 6p model which gives the best details and the outcome of the pictures is amazing looks like it was taking with Pixel 2.

I've been following these ports for a long time too and I'm currently using "scrubber_GCAM_5.1.018_25". It has portrait mode on both the front and back cameras and works like a charm. Plus you don't have to configure anything since it's already done. So I suggest you try using that version.
I'm using the one you are suggesting and yes it has portrait mode but what about lens blur;

There can either be Portrait mode or Lens blur. If you really want Lens Blur, then the stable version that I used before, for Lens Blur was "GCam5.1.014-Arnova8G2-v9.1".
It produced some great results with Lens Blur and ofcourse with HDR+. Tho it depends on what config you use in the settings.
Why rear camera shows maximum resolution as 12 megapixel instead of 16 megapixels.
Please add the advance setting in ths app,so that we can swap between portrait n blur mode.

Its because google pixel 2 has 12 mega pixel in its rear camera resolution
Scrubber's versions were made to work on his Xiaomi Mi Max 2. It's a "install and forget" app, that's why you don't see an option to enable/disable Portrait Mode and probably the reason why you can't go past 12 MP on the back camera (that's the max resolution on his phone).
Try Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.5 instead. You will need to configure the app so HDR+ works without any issues. I have the OnePlus 3 and for that reason can't tell you which settings are the best for this phone, but try the ones compatible with the Nokia 8:
Model: Nexus 6P (or Pixel 2XL for less noisy, and less detailed, photos)
Config camera HDR+: Pixel 2017 Zsl Hdr+ (ZSL available with Auto HDR, not with forced HDR/HDR enhanced)
HDR+ parameters: High
Or try some very stable, but limiting, settings:
Model: Nexus 6P (or Pixel 2XL)
Config camera HDR+: Nexus 6 Auto
HDR+ parameters: Default
Some of the settings inside the "advanced" menu may not be compatible with this device. If the app starts crashing, you might be using incompatible settings or have enabled some incompatible feature.
This port is always evolving, so with time Arnova's 5.1.018_v1.5 will became "old". Keep trying his apks and the ones from B-S-G. Or just use these "install and forget" apks... they work too.
By the way, I have this telegram channel for update alerts. When I upload new apks to the page linked by @sayedam, I also post them on the telegram channel.
I have also been following the gcam development and almost test each update on daily basis on Nokia 6 (2017)
Till now(as of January 16,2018) the best camera for Front and back portrait working flawless is the

Development record Link: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Which is based on @scrubber 's work.
This camera is the best install and forget app yet for Nokia 6
Front and back cameras both have portrait mode working.
I will attach the camera results ASAP.

Which version GcMod5 or ModPixel ?
In this version GCam5.1.018-Arnova8G2-V1.5Beta2 the problem does not exist?
By your answer I could correct on the next version

Sorry i was editing the post and you answered really quick... Brother its pixel mod v1 ...its previous version also had same issue.. I have tested all the previous versions gcmod5 as well.
For gc5mod the pictures from front camera contain no details i.e. look like 0.2 MP pics. But also they have no tint.... Right now i am again checking the mod u link to confirm it...
Give me just 120 seconds to confirm it

Dear @Arnova8G2 brother
The GCam you linked behaves like this here on Nokia 6
Back camera normal mode.... Black screen
Back camera portrait mode... Works perfect
Front camera normal mide... No tint.. but pic quality is like 0.2 MP camera
Front camera portrait mode... No timt... Same low pic quality
To be honest pixel mod is best only tint is the issue there. That's all
Works great, thanks. Btw, is there any chance to hide slow-motion from the menu, since it doesn't work?
@Arnova8G2 Is there a way to circumvent the 12MP limitation and get PDAF to work since the Nokia 6 has a 16MP PDAF sensor with a nicely working Camera2 API?

For photos? I am not sure. My LG V30 supports 16mp with the mod I made so that's weird.
I found that Oneplus 6 Camera M Mod works (mostly) very good on Oneplus 2 and gives better image quality than most GCam versions and stock OOS Camera.
Here is the link to the thread by txx1219 : OnePlus Camera M For Oneplus
It won't work on stock Marshmallow or any Nougat ROMs since its minimum SDK version is 26 (Android 8.0), I have tested it on ArrowOS Pie and AOSPExtended Pie ROMs (haven't tried it on Oreo ROMs but it should work).
Pro Mode doesn't work if you flash OnePlus Camera M using TWRP/Magisk; to fix this, install the apk inside the zip file located at OnePlusCameraM OP6 2018-09-23.zip\system\priv-app\OnePlusCamera\OnePlusCamera.apk . This won't need root but if you have any other OOS Camera installed you must uninstall it.
Go to Camera settings and turn Edge Mode and Noise Reduction OFF , it'll give images with tons of color noise in low light but you can get rid of it with Lightroom
It has quite a few bugs on OnePlus 2:
1. Camera bugs out when stutter time is more than 1/3 in pro mode
2. RAW mode brings out images with a red tint
3. Images seem a bit too overexposed and bright
4. Portrait mode doesn't show up as an option
5. Slo-motion just takes regular videos
6. Normal video will record but can't be playedback
What seems to be working:
1. Auto photo mode
2. Panorama mode
3. For recording video, use 1080p in slow motion mode (4K Causes green lines)
Laser AF also seems to be working

Nope, portrait mode doesn't show up on the app.
I found out that you can also just install the apk inside the Oneplus camera M zip file , pro mode also seems to work with this method and you won't need root. The apk is located in OnePlusCameraM OP6 2018-09-23.zip\system\priv-app\OnePlusCamera\OnePlusCamera.apk
Hi.
Panorama not working on 8.1 illusion rom.
I get only green color in photo.
Also. Can't open photo from camera. It says "no photo".
Hi guys,
I don't know if it possible, but is there any way to use the Pro mode in the stock Camera app, but with the wide and tele photo cameras?

Hello,
could anyone confirm the following for me in Video Pro mode?
can set Shutter Speed manually while keeping ISO to auto?
is 1/100 Shutter Speed available?
(both aren't available on any Samsung phone, so I want to make sure)
(I am interested only in video, not photos)
Thanks
